"Grandpa Huang, your grandson is here!"
Without any warning, Zhu Yunxi entered the old man's bedroom in Yong'an Palace.
"Um!"
Standing in front of the mirror, the old man in imperial attire turned his back to Zhu Yunxi and responded lightly.
"Grandpa Emperor"
"Stop talking yet, come here!" The old man interrupted Zhu Yunxi and said.
Zhu Yunxi suppressed the doubts in his heart, lifted up the skirt of his wide robe and stepped forward. Because he wore twelve crowns on his head, he had to slightly lift the beads in front of his eyes with his other hand, walking very slowly.
"Don't be in a hurry, walk slowly. When we wore this thing for the first time, we walked so fast that we almost fell!" the old man said with a smile.
Zhu Yunxi slowly walked to the old man's side, and looked at the large mirror in front of him with the old man.
In the mirror, there is an old man and a young man. The faces of the two grandparents are somewhat similar, but they are completely different. One is old and the other is heroic.
"Grandpa Huang," Zhu Yunxi called softly.
The old man's big hands gently helped Zhu Yunxi adjust the belt of his uniform, and said softly, "Unknowingly, you are taller than grandpa!"
Zhu Yunxi felt sour in his heart. It wasn't that he was taller than the old man. It was that the old man was old and his body was a little rickety.
"Look!" The old man pointed at the figures of the two of them in the mirror, "You look much more comfortable in these uniforms than we do!"
"Grandpa Huang, you"
"Go and get that knife!" The old man interrupted Zhu Yunxi again and said.
Zhu Yunxi turned around, walked to the bank of the old man's book, and solemnly picked up the sword that had been with the old man all his life. The blade was somewhat mottled but still heavy, and presented it to the old man.
"Let's go!"
When an emperor wears military uniform, he should carry a long sword, but the old man is carrying a sword soaked in the blood of countless enemies.
"Leaving now?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"Well, let's go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple!" The old man tried his best to straighten his back and stride forward.
Zhu Yunxi was about to come up to help him, but the old man said again, "You don't want to sit in the same carriage as us!"
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi felt surprised again.
The old man is so unusual today.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi saw several eunuchs following the old man, holding boxes containing jade seals, map scrolls representing the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, and holding the old man's personal seal and other items following the old man.
"Your Highness, I will drive for you!"
What surprised Zhu Yunxi even more was that the Marquis of Wuding, Guo Ying, appeared at the door in military uniform.
Guo Ying has been the old man's confidant since he joined the army. In his life, except for the old man and the late Queen Ma, he has never driven for anyone, not even Prince Zhu Biao during his lifetime.
"What's wrong with you, Mr. Marquis?"
Guo Ying smiled and said, "Your Highness, please get in the car first. The Empress and His Highness King Wu are waiting for you!"
"who?"
In an instant, Zhu Yunxi understood that the empress in Guo Ying's mouth could only be Zhao Ning'er, and King Wu was Liu Jin.
He continued to suppress all the doubts in his heart and followed Guo Ying out of the palace. The old man had already boarded the royal chariot. Next to another royal chariot that was exactly the same as the old man, Zhao Ning'er, wearing a phoenix crown and a full dress, stood with her head bowed.
Xiao Liujin, also wearing Gong uniform, stood beside her obediently.
"I have met Your Highness!"
"I have met my father!"
It stands to reason that whether it is a court meeting, an interview with foreign envoys, or a worship at the Ancestral Temple, Zhao Ning'er does not need to show up at all. If she becomes a queen in the future, she will be needed to make arrangements for ancestor worship.
"Did the old man ask you to go?" Zhu Yunxi asked softly.
Zhao Ning'er was a little timid, "Early in the morning, Eunuch Pu went to my concubine to convey the order, saying that I should follow him to worship the ancestors and attend the court meeting!" As he said this, he walked a few steps towards Zhu Yunxi unconsciously.
, "I, my concubine, feel a little panicked!"
After all, she is a woman, and this is the first time for such a big event. Not to mention her as a woman, even a man like Zhu Yunxi is becoming more and more uneasy.
"Don't panic, I'm alone!" Zhu Yunxi comforted him, "Get in the chariot!"
At this time, Pu Bucheng ran over quickly again, "Your Highness!"
"What's the matter?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"Your Majesty said, let your slaves carry King Wu over!" Pu Bucheng said with a smile.
"Well, go ahead!" Zhu Yunxi touched Liujin's head, "If you go to the ancestor's place, don't mess around!"
Liu Jin nodded with great effort, because the crown on his head was too heavy for him.
Later, Liu Jin was picked up by Pu Bucheng and walked towards the old man.
Faintly, Zhu Yunxi could still hear Liujin's crisp voice, "Old Pu, there is something that I can't figure out!"
"Your Highness, tell me!"
"You are an old man too, why don't you have a beard?"
~~
The Yulin Guards in golden armor and silver helmets opened the way, and the two consorts, Li Jinglong and Mei Yin, led the Yulin Imperial Guards and acted as the vanguard.
The Ming Dynasty Gate of the Forbidden City slowly opened, revealing the royal chariots of the old man and Zhu Yunxi. The vassal princes, nobles and ministers who had been waiting outside for a long time knelt down and kowtowed silently.
When their grandson's royal chariot passed by, everyone stood up. The vassal kings mounted their horses and followed them, followed closely by the distinguished ministers, and after that came the ordinary civil servants.
"Third brother!" After the vassal king, Zhou Wang Zhu Xi rode his horse closer to Jin Wang Zhu Fan, "It's a bit unusual!"
Zhu Fan looked sideways at the other party, "Why is it unusual?"
"It is unusual for the Zhengdan Dynasty meeting to be held in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and look!" King Zhou whispered, "All the ceremonial guards worn by the Emperor's grandson today are exactly the same as those of the old man!" He said in a low voice, "The frame of the Emperor's grandson's carriage just now.
When I came out, I saw half of his profile showing from inside, and he was wearing Shiji?"
Zhu Fan looked at him again and said, "Lao Wu, do you know that you have had an unpopular problem since you were a child?"
Zhu Tie was stunned by what he said, "What did third brother say?"
"You are the one who likes to pretend to be confused while pretending to understand!" Zhu Fan said.
Zhu Xi wanted to say more, but found that Zhu Fan had a serious face, so he swallowed the rest of his words.
~~~
Unknowingly, the Ancestral Temple arrived.
The magnificent palace is right in front of you, but there is silence between heaven and earth.
The old man slowly came out of the chariot, holding the knife in one hand and holding the six pounds in the other.
"Where is the emperor's grandson?" the old man asked majestically.
"My grandson is here!" Zhu Yunxi stepped forward quickly.
"You and I, first worship the Ancestral Temple!" the old man said, then glanced at his sons and grandchildren, who dismounted and walked to his side, "You guys, kneel and wait in front of the main hall!"
Saying that, without waiting for Zhu Yunxi to help him, he pulled the six kilograms and walked forward step by step.
"The Emperor has a decree!" Pu Bucheng's voice rang out among the ministers, "Your Majesty and the Emperor's grandson will first pay homage to the ancestors of heaven and earth. The vassal kings will kneel and wait, and the civil and military officials will stand outside the main hall of the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"
